On a brisk
morning last Saturday, December 5, more than 100 Reynolds students, faculty and
staff participated in a 5K run/walk sponsored by the West Richmond Rotary Club and
Richmond’s Flying Squirrels baseball team.
“Despite the 36
degree temperatures at the 8 a.m. start, it was exhilarating to see the more
than 700 people that were there for the event,” said Reynolds President Gary
Rhodes. “The 5k race benefited local children's charities such as United
Methodist Family Services (UMFS), The Central Virginia Children's Book Bank,
and The Flying Squirrels Charities. This year Reynolds set a new record
of participants from a single organization with 107 students, faculty, and staff.”
Dr. Rhodes was
also proud to announce the Reynolds Library team won an award for the most
creative team costume!
“I would also
like to thank our College Board members (all Rotarians), Steve Baril and James
Lane for running in the event and Fred Babik for working with me and other West
Richmond Rotary Club members to organize and host the event,” added Rhodes.
Way to Go Nutz
Reynolds!
